Great example of how songwriting and production can combine well.  You get a shimmering effect here.

Love your songwriting. You and Jonathan have conjured up some more wonderful alchemy here 👌😊

There. I’m “like” #100.  Really lovely song. And again... totally sounds like Bowie to me. But of course these songs stand on their own. Really pro stuff!

nice full rhythm section.  nice mixing with attention to vox

From time to time I came back to listen to this beautiful song so I added it to my favorites playlist :)

I like this guitar sound!! Of course the vocal, too.

Absolutely lovely. The type of deep rumination and honesty of Morrisey at his best.

Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com is a transatlantic online collaboration between Wheelwright and Jonathan Beckenstein. Notes for the Fictive Sisters curious appear after the lyrics below.
________________________________________________________________

Man running from burning building
He says why does everyone, everyone have to be on a journey
What if I don't want, I don't want to be on a journey

And you can fight the flames
Try to salvage what remains and tell yourself you're someone good
But there's a part of us that's wild
Doesn't want to be rewired to live in tidy neighbourhoods

Man running from burning building
He says why does everything, everything have to be for a reason
What if I don't want, I don't want to know if there's a reason

The ongoing online collaboration between Jonathan Beckenstein and Michael Wheelwright has been named Fictive Sisters.

Fictive Sisters does not have an SC page and so all tracks will remain exactly where they are on SC. This is also the plan as/if/when we ship new ones, and all Fictive Sisters tracks will of course continue to be free to stream on SC - so no change on SC at all really.

We have though setup on bandcamp https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com and corralled a selection of past and present tracks into Immaculate Distraction, an album-type-thing, so anyone who wants a download (of a single track or the whole lot) can now obtain the original files for a modest consideration.

Wild (with Jonathan Beckenstein) (Fictive Sisters)

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
